The World's Funniest Joke

My, how the Brits have fallen. Thirty years ago, Monty Python revealed that they had discovered the funniest joke in the world. It was so funny, in fact, that a team of translators were working on snippets of the joke. The sketch begins somberly, and escalates in classic Python style, until the Colonel declares that one translator who saw two words together ended up in hospital for two weeks. For my money, it remains one of the better Python satires.
